Example 1
The embodiment provides a low-power consumption electric energy meter reading method, which is applied to an electric energy meter with or connected with a wireless communication module; the electric energy meter comprises an MCU (microprogrammed control unit), and the MCU comprises a timer; the wireless communication module comprises a wireless communication chip; preferably, the wireless communication chip is a TICC 1101.
The wireless communication module is connected with the MCU through the SPI interface of the MCU, so that data interaction between the wireless communication module and the MCU is realized, and the MCU controls the wireless communication module to enter a dormant or awakened state.
Referring to fig. 1, a flow chart of the low power consumption electric energy meter reading method in embodiment 1 is shown. As shown in fig. 1, the low-power consumption electric energy meter reading method includes the following steps:
and S101, the MCU initializes the wireless communication module.
Specifically, the MCU sends an initialization signal to the wireless communication module, configures performance parameters of the wireless communication module, clears data in the cache of the wireless communication module, and controls the wireless communication module to enter a sleep state.
Further, when the MCU detects that the electric energy meter enters a power failure state, the low-power consumption electric energy meter reading method is started to be executed.
S102, the MCU initializes the timer.
Specifically, a timing parameter in the timer is set to an initial value. And the initial value is a preset value when the timer parameter starts to count.
It should be noted that, the step S101 and the step S102 are not limited in sequence.
S103, the MCU starts the timer to start first timing, and simultaneously enters a first working state.
Specifically, the MCU starts the timer to start first timing, so that the timer enters a first timing state; the timer continuously accumulates the timing parameters from an initial value according to a clock signal, and the accumulated value is the timing time of the timer; meanwhile, the MCU enters a first working state after the timer is started.
Wherein the first operating state is a low power operating state; in the working state, the MCU closes the operation of other peripheral equipment, and only keeps the timer in the operating state.
S104, when the first timing time reaches a first preset time and the timer triggers a first interrupt, the MCU starts the timer to start a second timing; meanwhile, the MCU wakes up the wireless communication module to receive external signals.
Specifically, the timing parameters of the timer are continuously accumulated along with the increase of the timing time, when the timing parameters reach a first overflow value corresponding to the first preset time, the timer triggers a first interrupt, and after receiving the first interrupt signal, the MCU starts the timer to start a second timing, so that the timer enters a second timing stage.
Preferably, the first preset time is any value of 1-9 s; in one embodiment, the first predetermined time is 3 s.
And when the timer starts second timing, the MCU wakes up the wireless communication module to enable the wireless communication module to be switched from the dormant state to the working state, and receives an external signal when the timer carries out the second timing.
S105, when the wireless communication module receives the external signal, the MCU detects whether the external signal contains a wake-up signal; if the wake-up signal is not detected, continuously detecting whether the external signal includes the wake-up signal, if the wake-up signal is not detected when the second timing time reaches a second preset time, returning to execute the step S101; and if the wake-up signal is detected, the MCU starts the third timing of the timer, and meanwhile, the MCU enters a second working state.
Specifically, when the wireless communication module receives the external signal, a pulse interrupt signal is sent to the MCU; and after receiving the pulse interrupt signal, the MCU reads the external signal stored in the wireless communication module through the SPI and detects whether the external signal contains a wake-up signal.
If the wake-up signal is not detected, the MCU still maintains the first working state, that is, the MCU continues to be in the low power consumption state, and the wireless communication module is in the working state, until the second timing time reaches a second preset time, the timer triggers a second interrupt, and then the process returns to S101 and continues to execute S101 to S105.
Preferably, the second preset time is any value of 50-500 ms; in one embodiment, the second predetermined time is 100 ms.
If the external signal is detected to contain the wake-up signal, the MCU starts a third timing of the timer, and meanwhile, the MCU enters a second working state to execute S106.
The wake-up signal is a wake-up frame, the data portion of the wake-up frame at least includes check information, and the check information is information for checking the wake-up signal and distinguishing the wake-up signal from other signals.
Furthermore, the data part of the wake-up frame at least comprises electric energy meter identification information to ensure that meter reading operation corresponds to the electric energy meters, and prevent the wake-up signal from generating signal receiving confusion when a plurality of electric energy meters are arranged relatively close to each other.
Furthermore, the signal length of the wake-up signal is less than that of the meter reading signal, and the signal length is fixed; compared with the meter reading signals with inconsistent signal lengths, the MCU can be ensured to finish the analysis and judgment of the signals within relatively short, predictable and relatively fixed time, so that the power consumption of the meter reading operation of the electric energy meter is further reduced. The MCU detects whether the external signal contains the implementation mode of the wake-up signal, and the implementation mode comprises the following steps: the MCU reads the external signals stored in the cache of the wireless communication module through an SPI (serial peripheral interface), and the MCU analyzes and acquires data information in the external signals; the MCU detects whether the data information contains the electric energy meter identification information and the verification information in the wake-up signal; if yes, the external signal is judged to contain the wake-up signal, otherwise, the external signal is judged not to contain the wake-up signal.
And the second working state is a higher-power working state relative to the first working state, and in the working state, the MCU is in a higher-speed running state and starts a peripheral related to the interior of the MCU.
S106, when the timer carries out the third timing, the MCU detects whether the external signal contains a meter reading signal; if the meter reading signal is not detected, continuously detecting whether the external signal contains the meter reading signal, and if the meter reading signal is not detected yet when the third timing time reaches a third preset time, returning to the step S101; and if the meter reading signal is detected, the MCU executes corresponding meter reading operation according to the meter reading signal.
Specifically, when the timer performs the third timing, the MCU controls the wireless communication module to be in a working state and receive an external signal; and the MCU reads the external signal stored in the cache of the wireless communication module after the wireless communication module receives the external signal, and detects the external signal.
If the meter reading signal is not detected, the MCU still maintains a second working state, that is, the MCU continues to be in the high power consumption state, and the wireless communication module is in the working state, until the third timing time reaches the third preset time, the timer triggers a third interrupt, and then the process returns to S101 and continues to execute S101 to S106.
If the external signal is detected to contain a meter reading signal, the MCU executes corresponding meter reading operation according to the meter reading signal, and returns to execute S101 after the meter reading operation is finished; execution continues with S101 to S106.
The meter reading operation is that the MCU executes a meter reading program according to the meter reading signal to obtain meter reading data, and sends the meter reading data to the wireless communication module, so that the wireless communication module sends the meter reading data.
Preferably, the third preset time is any value of 0.5-20 min. In one embodiment, the third predetermined time is 2 min.
Further, the MCU executes a corresponding meter reading operation according to the meter reading signal, and returns to execute S101 after the meter reading operation is finished, including:
when the meter reading signal is detected, the MCU closes the third timing of the timer, executes corresponding meter reading operation according to the meter reading signal, finishes the meter reading operation, and returns to S101 after the meter reading operation is finished; or when the meter reading signal is detected, resetting the third timing of the timer by the MCU; after the meter reading operation is executed, restarting the third timing of the timer by the MCU; meanwhile, the MCU detects whether the external signal contains the meter reading signal again; if yes, the step is executed again; if not, the step is exited, and after the meter reading operation is finished, the step returns to the step of executing S101.
It should be noted that the timer may be one timer, or may be multiple different timers, that is, the first timing, the second timing, and the third timing may be sequentially executed on the same timer, or may be respectively executed on different timers. In this embodiment, the timers are different timers, and the timer used for the second timing is a microsecond-level timer with higher precision, which is different from the timers used for the first timing and the third timing. In another embodiment, when the timer is a single timer, that is, the first timing, the second timing and the third timing are all executed in a single timer, the timing manner of the timer includes: the second timing is that the timing parameter continues to accumulate and time on the basis of the first timing time until a second overflow value corresponding to a second preset time is reached; similarly, the third timing is to continue to perform accumulated timing on the timing parameter based on the second timing time until reaching a third overflow value corresponding to a third preset time. Or, when the timer is a single timer, that is, the first timing, the second timing, and the third timing are all executed in the single timer, the timing manner of the timer may further include: the second timing is that the timing parameter is reset and then the accumulated timing is restarted until a second overflow value corresponding to second preset time is reached; similarly, the third timing is that the accumulated timing is restarted after the reset of the timing parameter until a third overflow value corresponding to a third preset time is reached.
It should be noted that the timer may include a timer outside the MCU in addition to the timer included in the MCU.
It should be noted that the low-power consumption electric energy meter reading method provided by the invention is not only suitable for the electric energy meter reading process, but also suitable for the electric energy meter configuration process, namely, the meter reading signal is replaced by a configuration signal, and the low-power consumption parameter configuration process of the electric energy meter in a power failure state can also be realized.
In the embodiment, the meter reading operation of the electric energy meter under lower power consumption is realized through the interaction between the MCU in the electric energy meter and the wireless communication module; the wireless communication module is switched between a low power consumption state and a higher power consumption state at regular time through the MCU, so that the power consumption of the wireless communication module is reduced; whether the external signal contains the awakening signal or not is detected, so that the MCU can be guaranteed to finish analysis and judgment of the signal within relatively short, predictable and relatively fixed time, the meter reading function of the electric energy meter in a power-down state is realized, the electric energy consumption of the electric energy meter in the power-down meter reading process is reduced, and the service life of a power supply battery are prolonged. In addition, compared with the prior art that the meter reading frame is directly read and analyzed in the meter reading operation, the time required by reading and analyzing can be more fixed by setting the wakeup frame before the meter reading frame, so that the method can be conveniently applied to different electric energy meters or meter reading communication protocols, and the application range and the use convenience of the method are improved.
